I once studied in a British high school for one year. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain. I could get up an hour later than usual.
On the first day, all students attended an assembly in the school hall. 27 I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana. During the assembly, the headmaster told us that 28 the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study. Because we had different classes in different classrooms, 29 对我来说记住所有的同学是件难事。I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in China. However, it was a bit challenging. Luckily, my teachers gave me much encouragement. My English improved a lot, as I used English every day.
I liked cooking and also took many subjects. In the art class, I made a small sculpture. 30 I liked it very much though it didn’t look very beautiful. 31 我很幸运能够体验到这样一种不同的生活方式。
